Ethiopia Two-wheeler Tire Market to Flourish at a CAGR of Around 3.70 % During 2026-32

Ethiopia Two-wheeler Tire Market was valued at USD 665 million in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 693 million in 2026 and USD 862 million by 2032. registering a CAGR of 3.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2032. The market reflects steady growth supported by structural mobility demand and rising two-wheeler utilization across urban and rural transport ecosystems, particularly in rural corridors.

Additionally, expanding motorcycle and scooter usage in urban centers is emerging as a key growth factor. Rising population concentration in cities such as Addis Ababa is increasing reliance on motorcycles for short-distance mobility, delivery services, and informal transport. Ethiopia motorcycle imports under HS 871120 were valued at approximately USD 8 million in 2024 indicating steady fleet expansion supporting urban mobility demand.

Segment analysis highlights strong dominance of motorcycles, accounting for nearly 83% share of the market in 2026, driven by their durability and suitability for uneven road conditions. In parallel, the ICE segment holds a commanding 95% share due to limited electric penetration. Additionally, high utilization levels are strengthening the replacement tire market as the primary consumption channel across Ethiopia over time.

In parallel, Ethiopia transition toward electric mobility remains uneven due to limited electricity access, charging infrastructure gaps, and affordability barriers, particularly outside urban centers. Despite emerging EV initiatives, internal combustion motorcycles continue to dominate mobility needs. Consequently, sustained reliance on ICE vehicles ensures steady tire demand, supporting long-term stability in both OEM and replacement segments of the two-wheeler tire market., during the forecast period, further states the research report, “Ethiopia Two-wheeler Tire Market Analysis, 2026.”
